Monday and Core'dinations! Happy Halloween!

Monday! Worked the weekend so this is my day off!!! Today Core'dinations is bringing you a week of fabulous work from our Design Team featuring Graphic 45. Core and Graphic 45 teamed up with some fabulous Core'dinations cardstock. I have three cards and a couple of layouts for you showing off some of both their products and Core'dination's cardstock.

Friday cards

Couple of cards for you today before I head back to work tomorrow. Success yesterday - drove Brandy down to Corpus to look for her a place to live when she starts back on her Master's in January and found a really nice new and clean and affordable apartment right down from A & M across from the beach. It's a four bedroom unit - she gets her own bedroom and bath and then shares the common room and kitchen with the others - washer and dryer, has a gym, pool, locked gates, etc. Her only demand was she was rooming ONLY with boys - doesn't want any girl drama!
Today I have a card for the sketch at Card Patterns which week. Used a Unity Stamp with some Core'dinations cardstock for this one - Jenni Bowlin line.





Then here's another card I did with the new stamps sets I got from There She Goes - such pretty flower stamps! Older sketch from Taylored Expressions. My Mind's Eye papers.

October Color Challenge at Core'dinations!

Check out the color challenge this month at Core'dinations - the Design Team has totally ROCKed this!!! We were challenge to do decorative designs with this color challenge but I couldn't resist making this card as well as the bag with the flowers!

For this I used some flowers I learned to make over at Heidi Van Lear's blog as a well as some of the new Petaloo flowers that use Core colors and a cute image from Designed 2 Delight. Have to give credit to Heidi Van Lear for the flower tutorial for the loopy flowers. The rest are from Petaloo and Cuttlebug die cuts. My bats and tombstone are from images off the web.

Sunday Cards

Wow two days isn't as good as three off - but will go back tomorrow for two more! Had a great weekend - went to lunch with Charlie and Brandy yesterday and then today went to the gym (killed me), tore wallpaper off the bathroom and then went and walked. The wallpaper in the shower and toilet stall actually peeled off - well like 75% of it did - I was doing the happy dance for sure! Almost done and then ready to texture and paint. Hopefully the last wallpaper project I have to do - then it's just painting and cleaning out.
Today I have a couple of cards - got some new stamps from There She Goes Stamps and love them. Couldn't wait to use some. Pulled out some old Dream Street papers and made these. The first one is for the sketch over at The Sweet Stop.

The second card is for the sketch at Sketch Saturday. Again another stamp set from There She Goes Stamps.







I have a couple of more on my desk but haven't finished them yet. thanks for stopping by.

Saturday and Unscripted Sketches

Getting back in the groove of the ICU again - managing now to pretty well keep up with two patients (which wasn't really the problem) and the charting (which WAS the BIG problem!) My preceptor for the day is working on her Master's program and was wondering how long we can prolong this preceptorship - she might be able to get all her homework done! I'm hoping they give me another week or so until I've taken a few new admits and such. The charting is what kills me.
Here's my card for Unscripted Sketches this week. Core'dinations Cardstock and Smooches stamps.
